The Wearin' of the Green



O Paddy dear, and did ye hear
the news that's goin' round?
The shamrock is by law forbid
to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick's Day
we'll keep, his color can't be seen
For there's a cruel law ag'in
the Wearin' o' the Green.

I met with Napper Tandy, and
he took me by the hand
And he said, "How's poor old
Ireland, and how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country
that ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."

They're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."



"So if the color we must wear
be England's cruel red
Let it remind us of the blood
that Irishmen have shed
And pull the shamrock from your hat,
and throw it on the sod
But never fear, 'twill take root there,
though underfoot 'tis trod.

I met with Napper Tandy, and
he took me by the hand
And he said, "How's poor old
Ireland, and how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country
that ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."

They're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."



When laws can stop the blades of
grass from growin' as they grow
And when the leaves in summer-time
their color dare not show
Then I will change the color too
I wear in my caubeen
But till that day, please God,
I'll stick to the Wearin' o' the Green."

I met with Napper Tandy, and

And he said, "How's poor old
Ireland, and how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country
that ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."

They're hanging men and women
there for the Wearin' o' the Green."
